Experience Candy Saves the Day

Demons? An attack?

Da Er hadn't heard these two words combined in a long time, and was momentarily stunned. Seeing this, the nun shoved him aside and hurriedly ran outside to treat the injured.

When he came to his senses, he saw Luo Jieer, who had also been resurrected. The two looked at each other and then looked out at the noisy outside.

A dozen or so wounded people, looking utterly wretched, were lying outside the Resurrection Room. More people were rushing to bring in more wounded, some of whom had already died.

The reason the Priest left the injured outside was not because they were indifferent, but to better perform group Holy Light Healing. For some seriously injured people, it was necessary to use higher-level healing spells.

There's no need to worry about the injured not being able to afford the treatment. Events like demon attacks are generally considered Scourge, and the local lords will offer condolences to the injured, and medical expenses will certainly be covered.

So the Priest and nuns brought out all sorts of potions that no one could afford normally, both to save people and to take the opportunity to fleece the lord.

The injured received treatment, the church received money, and the lord gained fame—another win-win-win situation!

Da Er squatted down in front of a person who was less seriously injured and had regained consciousness, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you encounter the demons?"

"Sigh, we are... sigh," the wounded man sighed repeatedly. "Our caravan just transported a batch of ingredients from Gourmet Paradise to Val City. After unloading, we saw that it was still early, so we thought we'd hurry back tonight to continue delivering goods. After all, Val City isn't that far from Bede City, is it?"

"It turned out that it was my turn to keep watch that night. There wasn't even a moon that night. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard strange noises coming from all around. As soon as I woke everyone up, we were attacked by the demons! Except for a few of us who were lucky enough to escape in a carriage, everyone else died there!"

The injured man became increasingly frightened as he spoke, even trembling at the height of his emotions. He looked around in terror, as if demons might leap out at any moment to take his life.

"That demon clan has a leader! I saw it with my own eyes. That guy was short and skinny, with a purple gem embedded in his head! He drained my buddy of his blood!"

His emotions suddenly became high, and he started shouting and yelling like a madman, his wildly waving arms almost hitting Da Er.

Luo Jieer quickly pulled Da Er aside, but his hands were covered in a sticky liquid.

Looking down, I saw blood— Da Er's blood.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, buddy?" Luo Jieer was startled because Da Er's expression was terrifying.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood.

Luo Jieer immediately thought of a possibility and asked with a strange expression, "Young man, you don't happen to have some grudge against the demon leader he mentioned, do you?"

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! This conflict is like something out of a drama!

Luo Jieer immediately recalled what he had talked about with An Ti Li. That day, they were discussing who to ask to help with the experiment, and the conversation eventually turned to Da Er.

This is what An Ti Li said:

"Da Er Chester, his surname is exactly the same as a family of beast tamers, and I care about that."

"Why don't we just ask them in person?" Luo Jieer said.

"No, if I were to ask in person, it might easily escalate into a fight,"

An Ti Li shook her head as she said:

"The Chester Family disappeared in a fire, and it is said that no one survived. It was about twenty years ago. I was just a little kid back then. I only remember that the elders in my family were very regretful when they discussed it. There were not many animal trainers to begin with."

"How old are you this year?"

"Are you looking for death?!"

As the flashback ended, Luo Jieer looked at Da Er with pity in his eyes. It seemed that what An Ti Li had said was probably true.

Some Chester Family survived, and the reason for their extermination wasn't some ridiculous fire.

Since Da Er has the blood of a beast tamer, it's not surprising that the wolves are close to him.

"Tell me in detail what the leader looked like!"

Da Er pressed down on the injured man's shoulder; he also looked somewhat agitated.

However, at this moment, the wound on the man's chest suddenly reopened. The flesh that had been healed by the healing spell suddenly split open, and purplish-black viscous fluid gushed out.

The injured man collapsed to the ground with a thud, and the Priest next to him rushed over to help him, but similar scenes kept repeating themselves.

The healed wound reopened, and everyone was in a flurry of activity.

"."

Da Er stood silently to the side. There was no need to ask anymore; the injuries of these people were the best proof, and the surging purplish-black slime was the most conspicuous feature of that guy.

This mucus can cause wounds to recur and never heal; the only way to deal with it is to suck it out before it penetrates deeper into the body.

But these injured people had been suffering for too long and were now in critical condition.

An enemy who only existed in his distant memories appeared beside him in an unexpected way!

He subconsciously touched his left arm, pressed down on a Priest and told him about the slime, then turned and left under the priest's bewildered gaze.

Val City is in the southwest, the demon attack occurred in the southwest, and his wolf pack is also in the southwest!

Even though he could deduce from the injured that the demon attack had taken place closer to Val City, he was still worried about the farm.

"Hey buddy, I'll go with you,"

Luo Jieer naturally understood what Da Er was thinking and immediately followed.

People passing by were discussing the demon attack, and an atmosphere of unease was brewing.

Run, run, sprint

After leaving Bede City, Da Er displayed unprecedented speed, running like a mad wolf!

Unable to catch up, Luo Jieer, panting heavily, cast a Mid Rank speed-boosting spell, Windwalk, on his opponent, making Da Er's sprinting figure even more blurred.

"I can't go on anymore, I can't run anymore,"

As expected of a physically weak mage, he slumped to the ground, muttering to himself:

"Actually, I should have told him. There was no need to run so fast. An Ti Li made a little move with his wolf pack."

When Da Er finally returned to the farm, he smelled a strong, pungent odor of blood.

However, this time there was no fierce-looking but actually dull-witted Female Fire Dragon to mislead him; the farm was empty and in a mess.

Suspicious bloodstains were scattered everywhere, dried for some time. The mess of flesh and fur, the broken ground and buildings, suggested that a major battle had taken place here.

The air was filled with a smell that Da Er wanted to stay away from no matter what—the stench of the demons.

No, no, no, it can't be such a coincidence, can it? Why would something like this happen to me again?

His face was deathly pale as he staggered toward the farmhouse where the stench of blood was strongest.

On the bright side, what if his wolf pack had already escaped before the demons attacked? Maybe none of them would have been injured.

However, the blood spilled on the ground was not demon blood, shattering Da Er's illusion.

He walked to the farmhouse door, his trembling hand reaching out, but before he could touch it, the tightly closed door collapsed with a crash.

A blood-red aura, like Rivers of Blood, surged forth wildly, resembling a hellish scene, turning the farmhouse into a blood-red landscape.

"Aww!"

He heard a faint cry and looked up sharply, only to see a wolf cub huddled in a pile of straw, trembling.

Great, there are still wolves alive!

Da Er had just stepped into the farmhouse when he suddenly stopped.

Because in the dimly lit building, several tall figures were sitting together eating raw meat and drinking blood.

It had dark gray fur, a strong and muscular body, sharp claws, and a deformed skull.

It's a werewolf!

Four werewolves were tearing apart a humanoid body, stuffing clumps of flesh into their mouths and feasting on them.

The wolves huddled in a corner of the farmhouse, casting helpless glances at Da Er, like lambs to the slaughter.

Da Er gradually calmed down and picked up the pitchfork next to him.

There were four werewolves, but they looked thin and weak, unlike normal werewolves who have explosive muscles. Perhaps I could defeat them.

Is it merely a possibility?

He suddenly thought of the Old Wolf of Farron. If he had been brave enough to accept Wolf's Blood back then, wouldn't it not just be "possible" but "absolutely possible" today?

The lack of power is both frustrating and regrettable.

If this can save my wolf pack, then I will definitely accept Wolf's Blood and gain power!

Da Er quickly mentally rehearsed the tactics and charged forward with a pitchfork in hand.

"Huh?"

Hearing the noise, the werewolves turned around and met Da Er's resolute gaze. They brandished their claws and charged at him!

Da Er's gaze sharpened, and he thrust his sword toward the throat of the werewolf who pounced first—a strike that was sure to hit!

However.

He pierced the air, as if the werewolf's head had vanished into thin air.

"Ah?"

A weight came from his chest, and he was knocked to the ground. The stench emanating from the wolf's mouth confused him.

How did you dodge it? Why were you able to dodge it?

Because the werewolf instantly transformed into a smaller wolf!

Seeing the wolf's sharp teeth so close at hand, Da Er decided to make a final struggle and grabbed its mouth—

However, the latter licked his palm.

"?"

The familiar feeling startled Da Er. He looked at the wolf that pounced on him and suddenly felt that the wolf looked somewhat familiar.

"Pointy Head?" he exclaimed in surprise, calling out the name of the wolf before him.

"Awoo!" The wolf named Pointy Head let out an excited howl, rubbing against Da Er's chest, looking very happy.

Da Er's brain went blank. He looked around and saw that the other three werewolves had also turned into familiar shapes.

"Missing Tooth, Starry Eyes, and Short Tail."

Da Er felt that the world had become magical.

"How did you all turn into werewolves?"

Just then, a small bag slipped out of his pocket, seemingly hinting at something.

That was an item An Ti Li gave him— Experience Candy M from the Pokémon world.
